Do you think it would be possible to use "L" brackets on the legs to screw into a concrete pad to prevent the bench being stolen?

There are no threads on the legs to secure it to the ground. so I guess if you can weld one side of the L bracket to the leg then you can fix it to the concrete

Don't know. We're pretty rural and out-of-the-way, so don't have traffic we don't expect.

Yes, if you have some strong metal brackets. This is a wonderful, well built bench and is heavy, at least it is heavy for me. Get some long, strong screws to use in it and you will probably have to use a metal drill bit. Good luck.

Yes, it would be possible, but not easy. There are no holes in the legs to which you could attach the "L" bracketsPat L

Yes, I do think that would be possible. This bench is so heavy , strong and well made. I have enjoyed sitting on it several times and it is not flimsy like some I have seen..but very sturdy. Really good idea you have...ours is at second home and I worry it could disappear. The one thing is ours says WELCOME on the back ...so this picture is a little different.

No i haven't...you probably have to find the correct screw type. It would make the work bench less stable

like all things, it can be stolen. there are straps holding it that can be cut, and nuts and bolts that can be loosened.

Craig: Yes, you can secure the frame with a cable or chain and lock via an access point behind the grill. The site of it should deter thieves but not prevent theft.. Bob

i would imagine its possible by making a base of plywood that is bolted to the Drill Press and that can be attached to the portamate brackets

I doubt it, as you have to screw the mounting bases into something, and it would be impossible to drill them into wrought iron. Zip ties MIGHT be able to secure it,....but I doubt it.

I had 4 sitting on the bench with no problem. I guess you could use bolts and nuts instead of screws for better strength.

Yes. This is how I usually use it if I don't plan on utilizing the seating benches. It's slightly more stable and faster to set up and take down.

I am not sure. I have it staked and I know it has the square bottom-sort of a lip-for on a post. I don't think you can drive screws through it so I don't think you can secure it readily.

I think it would be difficult to steal. There is not enough slack in the cables once tightened correctly to remove it easily. I would think someone would need to cut the cables. I have had mine on for a year with no issues. I feel that it is very secure if installed properly. Due to the weight and bulk of the rack it would be difficult to store in the car.

Yes however you may want to get plastic caps or something to put on the bottom of the legs for protection to the patio.

Not sure if you could attach some strap brackets to the underside, or not. We have wood floors and experienced the same problem. We toook the "legs" of and coated them with a rubber material that you use to coat hand tool handles with (available at most large home improvement stores). If this is not an option, you might try some no-slip cups placed underneath each leg.

No, it has straight legs, with nothing that can even be rigged to secure it. It's a great bench, but if you are set on securing it, this is not the bench for you.

Yes, Just know the bench is a little wobbly. You'll need to buy new screws at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Hi, I built my own custom concrete pad and am saving the bracket for another unit I will be suspending on a back wall. Since I have not installed the bracket yet, I can not properly respond to your question. SH

You could remove the legs if you take the 4 screws out that hold each bracket. I wouldn't recommend this if you plan on doing it a lot of times. They would strip out. Hope this helps.

Mine seems pretty secure (side of a white desk-overhead unit); I'd bet removing it would peel off what's under it. Pads don't seem like the ones that come with those "removable" wall hooks.
